OPK after early miscarriage

Since I ordered a very expensive CB digital OPK when I thought I wasn't pregnant, I figured I might as well use it since I am no longer pregnant. I was wondering if anyone had experience using them right after a very early (maybe 5 weeks) miscarriage. I know HCG can be picked up on them giving a false reading, but my levels never even got high enough to give me a BFP on any home test. I stopped bleeding two days ago and am already spotting some EWCM. I'm supposed to take another blood test to make sure my levels have gone back to 0, but I haven't been able to yet. One week ago I had dropped to 21. Do you think I can trust my OPK? Maybe I should just BD EOD either way? How common is it to O so soon after an early miscarriage? I'm so confused, maybe I should just give it a try and be patient and see what happens!

I took for granted that I'd get preggo quick, despite my old(er) age, lol. Which I did. I was prepared believe it or not for the possibility of a m/c because I my age as well. I have so many friends who got pregnant and did just fine even older than me, so who knows. I'm so hoping that was it for me, I got it out of the way so to speak. The next bean will be a sticky one!

Thanks for the encouragement ladies. My opk tonight is lighter than earlier which happens a few days before I O... I get close surge slows then BAM...out of nowhere... we are baby making. So glad I found this group... thanks ladies :)

Hosting a baby shower... I don't know how I would deal with that right now. It would be hard and definately warrant a trip to TCBY afterwards or margaritas... whichever you like.

I had a dream that I had twins last night was telling DH about it. Basically told him that I there is no way I would attempt to breastfeed twins. The entire dream I was walking around in public places with my tatas hanging out.... WEIRD dreams!

Took an OPK this morning and the line was way darker than it has been. I'll try to post a photo later. It was pretty close to positive but I know that its not. This will be CD 12. I mis counted on my last post. I forgot that AF came on 10/30.

Before my CP my cycles were 35 days so it looks like I might be back to 30.

On my way home from work last night I have stong pains in the left ovary area. Praying that this means I will O after a CP.

I've been following this thread for a while. I had my m/c at 6.5 weeks and I'm 5 weeks past miscarriage....just waiting for something to happen. I did a 3 hour hold today and used an opk. I believe it was positive, but it was an internet cheapie, so it made it a bit hard to read. I have feelings in both my ovaries (mostly left sided) but I have no cm. I just don't know what to think!

Good news! BFP yesterday!!! I just had CP on 10/11!!!! Hoping this one sticks but already more hopeful as RE has me on prometrium for the first time I never dreamt it would happen so soon after cp but RE said no reason not to try right away. Plus I got smiley face OPKs right when I would have during a normal cycle. I still am worried and am testing a couple times a day just to be reassured (last time, Id get a positive then negative digi, and the lines weren't consistently getting darker).

You're our second BFP! Your series of events provides so much hope for the rest of us! Hope we can all join you soon. My BIGGEST congrats and I hope and pray that everything will turn out just perfect for you :D
